Happy Yeti

With Happy Yeti, Jaime Hayon transforms a mythical snow monster into a joyful, ceramic companion—half sculpture, half vase, and wholly delightful. Building on the playful spirit of his earlier Happy Susto, this glazed ceramic piece captures Hayon’s fascination with fantastical creatures and their ability to evoke both laughter and wonder. Plants can be placed inside its head, turning foliage into wild hair and lending the yeti a mischievous, living presence. Rendered in white or pink ceramic with hand-painted black accents, the piece is a celebration of emotion, imagination, and humor in everyday objects.

Far from being merely decorative, Happy Yeti functions as a bridge between art and design—where storytelling, personal expression, and whimsical form come together. Its expressive face and carefully crafted details invite affection, sparking emotional connections with those who share its space. Whether placed on a shelf, sideboard, or dining table, this charming creature reminds us not to take life too seriously, and that beauty can be bold, unexpected, and even a little bit silly.
